The Acting Lab:
Challenge yourself in a unique one-week Acting Lab dedicated to exploring the balance between thoughtful preparation and exciting, unpredictable performance and auditioning skills.
Through the lens of exploring monologues using classic techniques - as well as newer theories of environment, inner and outer landscapes, embodied psychology, and even parallels to Quantum Entanglement Theories - and using exercises designed to free and sensitize your Body and Mind, actors will discover new ways to find paths in which to create more vibrant, dynamic, and bold choices in their work and performances.
Actors learn how to explore texts with their own creative and imaginative energies and find new ways to discover the moments and environment which lead to dynamic and compelling performances.
The Lab includes 4 days of live, in-studio workshops led by Mitchell Gossett with potential guest artists visiting to share auditioning experiences.
Final Industry Presentation:
The Lab will culminate on the 5th and final day with a remote, zoom presentation showcasing each actor’s work for a small audience of industry and creative professionals with the purpose of applying the week’s discoveries right away in front of Industry Professionals.
Join us for the week and bring your work alive in new and exciting ways! Grow your work from BASIC to BOLD!
